Sec. 20-110. Licenses to out-of-state applicants. The Department of Public
Health may without examination, issue a license to any dentist who is licensed in some
other state or territory, if such other state or territory has requirements for admission
determined by the department to be similar to or higher than the requirements of this
state, upon certification from the board of examiners or like board of the state or territory
in which such dentist was a practitioner certifying to his competency and upon payment
of a fee of four hundred fifty dollars to said department. No license shall be issued under
this section to any applicant against whom professional disciplinary action is pending
or who is the subject of an unresolved complaint. The department shall inform the Dental
Commission annually of the number of applications it receives for licensure under this

History: 1959 act raised fee from $75 to $100; 1971 act raised fee to $150; P.A. 79-70 required applicant to have
practiced for three, rather than five, years in another state; P.A. 80-484 transferred licensing power from dental commission
to department of health services, revised qualifications to replace three-year practice requirement with requirement that
applicant be currently practicing, to delete requirements that applicant be "of good moral character" and that he pass a
practical examination, and to add provisions prohibiting issuance of license to applicant involved in disciplinary action or
unresolved complaint and requiring annual notification of commission of number of applicants; P.A. 87-114 substituted
"licensed" for "in lawful practice", deleted the condition requiring a dentist to remove to this state, and deleted the provision
requiring the state or territory issuing the certificate to offer reciprocity to dentists registered and licensed in this state and
removing to such other state; P.A. 89-251 increased the fee from $150 to $450; P.A. 93-381 replaced department of health
services with department of public health and addiction services, effective July 1, 1993; P.A. 95-257 replaced Commissioner
